Bernie's POV
I stayed like that until the doorbell rang. I staggered to the door and opened it, it was definitely Dylan. He would be back to normal. Of course, he would come back to find me. But to my disappointment, the person standing at the door, facing me was the maid.
I stared at her in bewilderment, causing her to take a step back in fear. She hesitantly pointed inside: “Mr. White, I… I came to clean the house!”
When she finished speaking, she immediately lowered her head, I know my aura scared her. Not only the maid. Anytime I show anger, the people around me will also avoid me, except for Dylan.
I'm dumbfounded. It turned out that I'd been sitting in the living room for more than three hours. And yet I haven't received a call from Dylan. I began to panic, and the fire in my heart kindled ablaze. My eyes are getting darker, I need to find Dylan. Dylan is out of sight made me scared and frantic. Like an animal that has identified a mate, but loses it in the blink of an eye.
That crazy feeling kept bothering me in my mind. I was crazy. And in this situation, if I hadn't met Dylan, maybe I would have actually done something out of control. I leaned over to let the maid enter the house. She put on her apron. And then she turned to me and asked, “Sir, do I need to clean the bedroom?”
She hesitated for a moment. If normally, she wouldn't ask me that, instead she would have a pleasant chat with Dylan. Thinking of Dylan again, even though we've only been apart for three hours, this time is longer than a year. My eyes scared her again. And even though she tried to smile, I could still see it.
“Don't touch any of the items upstairs!” After I said that, I didn't pay any attention to her anymore. Instead, I went upstairs. My footsteps were as heavy as a ton of lead.
Obviously, the things in the house are still the same, but I find them very different. It's because there's no Dylan. Every other day, I go to work, only on evenings and weekends with Dylan. But now, I feel completely different. I know well that this is caused by my mind.
I changed into warm clothes, texted my assistant that I wouldn't be at work today, and walked out of the house. Dylan probably won't go back to his parents' house because Dylan's parents' house is in another city. The only place Dylan could go was his house before we got married.
I have not been back here for more than half a year, but the way to Dylan's house is always in my mind. Like it was programmed in my head, the road wasn't far, and I impatiently drove to the subdivision where Dylan lived. The car window rolled down, and I looked at the security guard watching TV in the room. Hearing the car, he turned to look at me.
“Mr. White!”
Looks like he still remembers who I am. I wanted to smile like always to answer him but I couldn't. I nodded to the security guard, then asked hoarsely, "Is Dylan here?"
The security guard said, "Yes, early in the morning, Mr. Clark came back here. I also find it strange. For some reason, his facial expression doesn't look good!"
After saying that, he also looked at me questioningly, as if he wanted to ask something. Dylan has lived in this apartment complex for a few years, and being familiar with the security guard is normal. Then I went after Dylan, of course getting to know him. It can be said that he is the witness of my love for Dylan.
"What does he look like?" I couldn't help but ask.
The security guard, his name is Ian, hesitated for a moment and then said: "He looks so bad. He is so pale."
Ian sighed, then said, “Hurry up and find Clark! I think he needs someone by his side right now!”
After listening, my heart no longer panics. I breathe a sigh of relief in my heart. As long as I know where Dylan is, I'll be able to bring him home. I drove into the house, and a few people were walking in the courtyard. It was really peaceful. But I wasn't in the mood to enjoy, a way to the front of Dylan's house.
Getting out of the car, I adjusted my hair so that I didn't look too struggling. Standing in front of Dylan's house, I did not dare to ring the bell. Waiting for about five minutes, until there were eyes on me, I mustered up the courage to ring the doorbell.
Actually, I have the password to Dylan's house. That was the day when Dylan and I officially fell in love, but I didn't directly barge in. I was afraid I would offend Dylan myself.
"Who's this?"
Dylan's tired voice resounded over the tracking system. My ears were ringing, and I finally heard the voice I'd always loved. I said hoarsely, "It's you, Dylan. I'm here to take you home!"
After my words, the other side was silent for a long time, so long that I thought Dylan had fallen asleep before he spoke.
“Bernie, can you go home first?” Dylan sighed, but he wasn't as distant as before: “I… I need time to think!”
Dylan didn't tell himself what to think, but his words raised an anonymous uneasiness in me. I opened my mouth, gasping: “Dylan, what do you want to think about? Can you tell me? We'll work it out together!"
But this time, Dylan didn't answer me anymore. Perhaps Dylan had left the monitor, the silence of a moment ago had completely died down. My eyes darkened, my hands clenched, and I growled, “I know you're listening, Dylan! Quickly open the door, or I don't know what I'll do!"
I paced up and down in front of Dylan's house impatiently. Two thoughts popped into my head, one telling me to knock on the door and grab Dylan, the other telling me to wait patiently for Dylan.
"If you act scary in front of Dylan, he'll be scared of you, never coming back to you!"
“Don't be afraid! As long as you catch Dylan, you can lock him up. He won't be able to escape your sight anymore!"
"Don't be foolish Bernie! If you really force Dylan to be with you, Dylan will hate you!"
My head hurts like it's cracking. I try to control it and collapse in front of Dylan's door. Now I know that I can love someone to such extremes! In my mind right now, it's all about Dylan. Dylan says he needs to think. What does Dylan need to think about?
After thinking it all over, does Dylan want to divorce me?
Not impossible!
Dylan loves me as I love him!
The thought just now was so wild. I tried to stop myself from thinking in a bad way.
It's just that Dylan is acting so weird I can hardly ignore it this morning. The surrounding sounds gradually disappeared, and I fell into my own world. Having only been apart for a few hours, I was so scared because I never thought that Dylan would leave me.
I sat on the ground like an idiot. I really wanted to smoke a cigarette right now. Before I used to be a heavy smoker, then Dylan and I fell in love. Dylan couldn't stand the smell of cigarettes, so I quit smoking, no tobacco on my body.
Waiting for the door behind me to creak, I hurriedly stood up. Because I was in a hurry, I couldn't stand. I had to cling to the wall to be able to stand. I greedily looked at Dylan's face. He didn't seem to be any better than me today.
I swallowed, wanting to talk, but found that my throat was hoarse.
“Dylan, you finally opened the door to meet me!” I said, then took a step forward, wanting to grab Dylan's hand but he deftly dodged it.
My eyes darkened, and Dylan was avoiding me. Noticing my strangeness, Dylan paused for a moment. He took a deep breath. And then he said, “Bernie, I…”
I rushed forward, hugging Dylan. I leaned against the back of his neck, taking a deep breath, hoping it would calm my fury right now. Dylan wanted to avoid being hugged by me again. Dylan could only obediently lean against my chest.
"Dylan, Dylan! You're driving me crazy!"
After saying this, I took a bite of Dylan's neck as punishment. Until Dylan groaned, "Pain, Bernie, you're hurting me!"
I woke up quickly retracting the fang. There was blood on Dylan's beautiful neck, my heart ached, and I reverently licked the blood on his neck.
“Sorry, Dylan. I was too scared. Sorry for hurting you!”
I lowered my head, not daring to face Dylan. Afraid to see Dylan's distant gaze, it seemed to have become a ghost in my heart. I didn't dare listen to him, but then I couldn't stop him.
Dylan raised his hand, covering the spot where I'd just kissed and licked. I saw Dylan's neck turn red, and it didn't stop there. His face and ears were dyed a beautiful shade of red.
“Bernie, you… how could you do that?” Dylan's eyes were slightly watery, and I noticed the unnatural and confused expression in his eyes. But absolutely no resistance and hate!
Dylan's POVI pushed open the door to enter the house, not expecting that the password of the house had been changed, making me struggle for a long time. Suddenly, a number popped into my head, which was the date I saw in that photo. Sure enough, after entering four digits of the date, the door opened, and I breathed a sigh of relief.The future 'me' seems to love Bernie very much, otherwise, I wouldn't have set the password so revealing. I secretly clicked my tongue, I really wanted to hide from this truth and hope that, as soon as I woke up, everything will return to the way it was. That way I won't have to deal with this nameless trouble!The house was empty, except for a few items such as tables and chairs, television, and kitchen utensils, there was nothing left. Seems like I never thought I would have to come back here. Do I trust Bernie's feelings like that?The more I thought about it, the more my head hurt, so I banged my head against the wall hoping to ease the pain. I don't
Dylan's POVI looked at Bernie's bewildered expression, feeling a little more at ease. This time, I definitely have to tell Bernie what's on my mind!"I can't remember the past. I feel like our relationship is messed up!" Before I could finish, Bernie slapped the table, angrily interrupting."Messed up? Dylan, what do you mean by that?" Bernie's eyes are bloodshot, and he angrily approaches me: "You tease me, seduce me, then say that our feelings are just a mess? Dylan, you're so cruel!"Bernie hissed every now and then, and even though he tried to control himself, I could tell he was angry. But this time I was not as soft as before. I bluntly faced Bernie, saying: "Bernie, you are so hot-tempered! I said I lost my memory!"Bernie paused a second, but he stubbornly said, “Lost your memory? Maybe it's just an excuse to deceive me!"I don't understand what Bernie is thinking, but I know he has grown to trust me and just wants to oppose me. I narrow my eyes and smile, "Bernie, I can't be
Bernie's POVThere was a rattling noise upstairs, that made it difficult for me to calm down. I discovered that Dylan hadn't listened to me to rest for a while when I stepped into the house again. On the contrary, since she had almost finished cleaning up, I could only helplessly step into the kitchen to prepare dinner. A flash of years ago flashed through my mind, and the corners of my lips couldn't help but smile. If Dylan had listened to me, it wouldn't have been the Dylan I know.The office was knocked loudly. I raised my eyebrows and raised my head, not in a good mood."What happens?" My voice was heavier than ever, as if the person standing outside also noticed, she could only speak."Mr. White, today there are resumes of some excellent candidates." The speaker just now was my assistant, Emma.“Bring it in!” I leaned back tiredly on the back of the chair.Emma pushed open the door and stepped inside. I could clearly see that her stomach had swelled slightly. I was a bit lost, Em
Dylan's POVI was lying on the bed. Last week I passed the first interview with the LX company. Currently, I'm waiting for the next announcement. Waiting makes people more sluggish than ever, even I is no exception. Suddenly, the phone rang a notification bell.“Congratulations on passing the 2nd round of LX selection. Tomorrow morning, go to the company and go to the 23rd floor to find Mrs. Emma to discuss more work.”“Ah!!”I jumped for joy, then immediately called my mother."Mom!"I happily spoke up as soon as my mother answered the phone. She was probably cooking dinner at this hour, and before she saw the name on the screen, she clicked to listen.“Hello… Oh, is that my baby, Dylan?”I was very reluctant when I heard this name, "How many times have I told you! I'm an adult now. Don't call me like that again, mom!"I heard rustling from the other side of the phone, and my mother smiled softly, saying, "Even if you're fifty, you're still my little boy!"Having said that, she even
Dylan's POVHearing Emma say that I silently breathed a sigh of relief. But intuitively, I thought that Bernie would definitely give me a hard time, so I was even more careful. I asked Emma, "What restaurant do you normally order for him?"Maybe Emma thought I wouldn't ask further, so she turned to leave. Suddenly hearing my question, Emma clearly stopped. She shook her head: "Not fixed. If not, try ordering a quick snack at a restaurant near your company. Chloe knows the phone numbers of these restaurants very well. You should ask her."After saying that, Emma hurriedly left as if she was in a hurry to do some business. I could only obediently run to ask Chloe, but she gave me a list of restaurants selling food around the company, far or near. There must have been fifty restaurants. I gasped, stunned, and dialed a phone number.Finally, I ordered two sandwiches for lunch, I wanted to order more drinks but then I didn't. Anyway, Emma had said, Bernie had a very casual lunch. I waited
Bernie's POVI walked over to the reception desk, pouting at the simple meal on the table. Just now, I rushed to call Dylan back just to entrust him with some work that was already completed. After giving the job to Dylan, I felt a bit regretful. If Dylan knew the truth, he would surely think that I was deliberately making things difficult for him.“Tch!”Never mind, he can't blame me anyway. I was just doing my job right! That thought made me much more comfortable. I calmly ate the lunch that Dylan prepared for me.The meeting just ended, and Emma went to the office to find me."Mr. White, you have a dinner date with Mr. Miller tonight." Emma flipped open the schedule: “Do you want to let Dylan study?”Emma smiled at me. I knew she was trying to match me to Dylan. I licked my parched lips, not answering Emma's question. Instead, I asked her: "Did you teach Dylan to make cocoa or not?"When Emma heard me ask that, she paused for a moment, then laughed: “Mr. CEO, he only knows how to m
Dylan'POVEmma's voice rang in my ears, and I leaned over to listen to all of her words. Simply put, she was instructing me on what to do when I had to go on a business trip. Most of it is from Emma's experience, which is extremely useful to me.I nodded repeatedly, then summed it up: “How long will I have to stay in Brooklyn for this survey?”Emma thought for a moment, then said, "It could be three days. It could be a week."“It all depends on whether the other side’s project is favorable.” Emma smiled and said, “But rest assured, it won't be too hard. You just follow Mr. White. And he will tell you to do whatever you want. Maybe you will meet some customers who want to meet. At this time, just ask your boss!”I listened and took notes on my phone. Anyway, this is my first time on a business trip. Before starting the business trip, I had to research the project again, so that the survey did not have any errors. Furthermore, Emma also told me that, as Bernie's main assistant, my dutie
Bernie's POVEver since I got in the car, I've noticed Dylan nodding off to sleep, banging his head on the window every now and then. Just hearing the sound makes me feel sick for him. It's just that having banged my head against the window so much and Dylan still won't wake up. I sighed as if I wanted to shake him but in the end, I stopped.As I glanced at it, I could see that there were dark circles under Dylan's eyes. Maybe he didn't sleep well last night. I'm not a very strict boss, so I couldn't bear to wake him up. Until Dylan suddenly rested his head on my shoulder, goosebumps all over my body. I instinctively wanted to push him away, but when my hand touched the top of Dylan's head, I stopped. His hair is so soft.I hesitantly retracted my hand, trying to calm myself down a bit. Is it because I've been single for so long that Dylan can confuse me too? I immediately shook my head, but these strange actions of mine caught the driver's eyes. I glared at him, and he silently looke
Personnel changes didn't cause any ripples in the company, and certainly not in Dylan's daily life.He and Bernie had been living together for almost a month now. Today was a day off, but Bernie had a necessary appointment with a partner. At the same time, Dylan planned to visit his mother.Standing in front of the mirror, adjusting his outfit, Dylan felt Bernie's intense gaze beside him. After a while, unable to resist, Bernie approached and hugged him from behind."Can you come with me?" he whispered into Dylan's ear. "Don't go to your appointment; come with me, please."Dylan turned around, embraced the other's firm waist, and lifted his head to kiss him on the cheek. "Don't be naughty, love. I know this appointment is important."Bernie seemed quite dissatisfied. "Yet you won't come with me."Dylan, feeling somewhat reluctant, chuckled, "Don't we already have Katherine and Scarlet? Besides, your coming along wouldn't make much of a difference."Bernie remained quite dissatisfied,
Peaceful Sunday morning.Dylan wanted to get up and find something to do, but Bernie didn't want to. He just insisted on holding Dylan on the bed. Dylan thought maybe the new project had tortured them too much lately, especially Bernie; it was complicated to have a free weekend, so let's just follow his wishes.Dylan won't say it's because he's tired of being "tortured" by him...Dylan laid his head on Bernie's large, sturdy chest, talking to him in a no-no way about the newly completed project, about his family, about their future.The more Dylan talked, the more sleepy he became. Finally, he didn't know when he fell asleep again.Dylan slept very well, like an angel on Mount Olympus buried in a soft, warm blanket.When Bernie watched him sleep, his heart was very calm, very content.It would be nice if life stopped at this moment. Then Dylan would forever be in his arms, forever peaceful and warm like this.But that couldn't be done; they skipped breakfast, and they couldn't let Dyl
Dylan stood in front of the mirror, selecting his outfit for the day as he had a date with Bernie. It had been a week since Dylan and Bernie started their relationship. In reality, they had always been together in the company. Still, due to Dylan's thin face, he didn't make their relationship public. Bernie had been upset about this for a long time, probably for about two hours.Despite not being public, the secret dating within the company brought a thrilling and novel sense of excitement. With a busy week behind them, today was the first time in a while that they had time for each other. Bernie had taken advantage of the morning when there was no one around to tightly embrace Dylan, continuously kissing his face like a giant puppy seeking affection. Dylan had to coax and promise about their evening date before Bernie finally let him go.Thinking about it, Dylan couldn't help but smile, feeling that this time was indeed good. After changing clothes, Dylan grabbed his phone, checked t
Dylan's POVI don't even know what's on the screen; my entire focus is on the person sitting next to me, Bernie. Suddenly, I feel my lips nibbling on something, and in a panic, I realize it's Bernie's finger. My face blushes momentarily. It turns out that while I was lost in thought, Bernie continuously fed me popcorn, which made me incredibly happy.Two hours of watching the movie passed quite quickly. I don't know how many times I accidentally bit Bernie's finger. I just know that my stomach is full of popcorn. I've eaten so much that I don't want to eat it again."Why did you feed me so much?" I sighed, looking at him while he disposed of the empty popcorn bag in the trash.Bernie hesitated momentarily, then changed the subject: "Let's stroll in the mall. Aren't you full now? We can have lunch in a bit!"I just nodded, then wandered with Bernie. But when I looked at something for a few seconds, Bernie immediately stopped and wanted to buy it for me. I chuckled and pulled Bernie awa
Bernie's POVAfter Dylan left, I was alone in the office, thinking about my date with him tonight. I couldn't help but feel extremely nervous. Earlier, I hadn't been as composed as I appeared; in front of Dylan, I had tried to be tough to make him confront his feelings. I sighed and rubbed my temples, the tension making me forget to tell Dylan where we were meeting.Maybe Dylan wasn't back to work yet, and I could use my authority to call him for a chat. I had never felt the power that came with my position as excellent as I did now, being able to mix business with personal matters. But that thought faded; I couldn't force Dylan to do what I wanted.After much contemplation, I left my office and headed to the assistant's room. Just a few minutes without seeing Dylan, I missed him so much it felt like an electric shock. It must be the Alpha blood in me surging. I took a deep breath, trying to regain my composure, and went to the assistant's room.As I was about to enter, I overheard Ch
Dylan's POVStanding in front of the clinic's door, I suddenly felt a bit hesitant, even though we had been so encouraging to each other last night. I looked at Bernie, who seemed to be equally concerned, with his brows furrowed, and my heart skipped a beat. It turned out that I wasn't the only one feeling this way.I smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, it's just a routine medical checkup!" With that, I leaned in and gave Bernie a kiss. In that moment, I noticed the receptionist looking at us with curiosity, and her face turned slightly pink.Bernie gently stroked my hair, still looking worried, but his furrowed brows relaxed a bit. "Let's go inside," he said.He knocked on the door, and from inside, we heard a warm and welcoming voice saying, "Come in!"Her voice had a soothing effect, easing the anxiety in our hearts. Bernie and I exchanged glances, and I nodded with confidence.We pushed open the door and entered the room. Behind the desk sat a middle-aged woman with silver str
Dylan's POVStanding in front of the veterinary clinic, faint images suddenly flashed in my mind, as if I had stood there many times before. I rubbed my temples, biting my lip to endure the fleeting pain."Dylan, what's wrong?"In an instant, Bernie's gentle voice echoed in my ear, and the pain gradually subsided. Facing Bernie's concerned gaze, my heart softened, and I smiled in response, "I'm fine. Let's go inside quickly!"Upon hearing that, Bernie smiled and took hold of my hand, gently placing a kiss on my fingertips. My ears turned red; even though I had accepted the fact that we were a couple, I still couldn't fully adjust to Bernie's intimate gestures. I gently pulled my hand away from Bernie's and whispered, "Don't do that, we're in a public place!"Bernie burst into laughter, playfully tousling my slightly messy hair. "We're legally married, they can't judge us!"After saying that, he leaned in towards me as if he wanted to kiss my lips. I quickly glanced around and, not see
Bernie's POVDylan and I went downstairs together to meet John. Although he felt a bit uneasy, he obediently sat next to me. Witnessing that scene, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken. I tightly grasped Dylan's hand, glanced at John, and asked, "Do you have a way to make him remember everything from the past?"John pondered for a moment and then turned the question back to us, "So, it all began seven years ago when Dylan had a car accident, and then Olivia decided to use hypnosis to eliminate his painful memories. Am I correct?"Olivia stood beside us, sighing as she placed a glass of water on the table. "It was my own decision. Back then, Dylan was in immense pain, and Andy and I couldn't bear to see him suffer like that.""Mom..." he whispered, his voice pleading, and he blinked back tears. "I don't blame you, Mom."I embraced him tightly, gently patting Dylan's back to offer comfort. His body immediately tensed up, and I sighed, realizing that Dylan wasn't accustomed to my embrace
Bernie's POVI gazed at Dylan's surprised expression even while he was sleeping, feeling a thrill of excitement. I restrained myself from pinching his cheek, sensing his annoyance within his chest as he furrowed his brows. I quickly let go of him, and he settled back into a deep sleep.I held onto Dylan tightly, then stood up and carried him to the bedroom. However, as soon as I placed Dylan on the bed, he suddenly opened his eyes. His face turned pale like a sheet of paper, looking at me as if he had seen a ghost. He breathed heavily and hoarsely asked, "Bernie? Aren't you drunk?"I paused, not understanding what time period Dylan was referring to. If it was after I met Dylan, then I hadn't been drinking anymore. As for before that...I only drank during my college years and shortly after graduation. But during that time, I had never met Dylan.Various thoughts appeared in my mind, and the seeds of suspicion grew thicker day by day. In the end, what was Dylan hiding from me? Or rather
